Pastor Randall teaches how close we can truly be to Jesus...

Psalm 23:1-6

Why do we look at the Table of the Lord like its foreign food? verse 5 says what's prepared it is for all believers.

John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

Luke 2:15-17

What are you declairng? What you hear from the grapevine from so and so; or what you have seen first hand and heard from God.

Four Things we can Learn About Worship from the Birth of Christ

1. Humility- Jesus’  birth in the stable/manger was probably the most humble of places.  No extravagant pomp or circumstances.  Humility is key in approaching the Savior
2. Rejection- Joseph and Mary were rejected and placed out in a stable.  During times of rejection our worship can be the most amazing
3. Pressure- Jesus was surrounded by outside pressure.  Conspiracy had begun to have him killed.  The shepherds and kings showed up to worship in a very dangerous atmosphere
4. Acceptance- Locals and foreigners were present at the first worship moments of the King.  Outsiders are welcome.  Jesus is not just King or worshiped within your city limits or 4 walls.

Despite the environment, the atmosphere, the surroundings and conditions the worship that occurred at the birth of Christ was done face to face.  The shepherds themselves have a supernatural encounter with heavenly angels but still did not say a word to the world without seeing Jesus face to face.
